Dollar Tree, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan

1.1 Establishment. The Dollar Tree, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is hereby established effective as of April 16, 2021, being the date the Plan was adopted by the Board (the “Effective Date”). The Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company on June 10, 2021 (the “Approval Date”). This Plan replaces and supersedes the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (“2011 Plan”) as of the Approval Date; provided, however, that all grants of awards that are outstanding under the 2011 Plan on the Approval Date shall continue to be governed under the terms and conditions of the 2011 Plan and applicable award agreements.

1.2 Purpose. The purposes of the Plan are to (i) advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders by providing incentives to attract, retain and reward persons performing services for the Member Companies; (ii) to motivate Participants, by means of appropriate incentives, to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Member Companies; (iii) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of similar companies; and (iv) further identify Participants’ interests with those of the Company’s shareholders through compensation that is based on the Company’s stock. Awards under the Plan may be granted in connection with other compensatory plans or arrangements of a Member Company. The Company intends that Awards granted pursuant to the Plan be exempt from or comply with Section 409A, and the Plan shall be construed and interpreted as necessary to achieve that intent.

1.3 Duration of Plan. No Awards may be granted under the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Approval Date. Any Awards that are outstanding on the tenth anniversary of the Approval Date shall remain valid in accordance with their terms and the Plan shall continue to apply to such Awards.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise designated by the Company or required by law, a leave of absence shall not be treated as Service for purposes of determining vesting under the Participant’s Award Agreement. A Participant’s Service shall be deemed to have terminated either upon an actual termination of Service or upon the corporation for which the Participant performs Service ceasing to be a Member Company.

2.2 Construction. Captions and titles contained herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of the Plan. Except when otherwise indicated by the context, the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular. Use of the term “or” is not intended to be exclusive, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

3.1 Committee. The authority to operate and administer the Plan shall be vested in a committee appointed by the Board. The initial Committee will be the Compensation Committee of the Board. If, at any time, there is no committee of the Board then authorized or properly constituted to administer the Plan, the Board shall exercise all of the powers of the Committee granted herein, and, in any event, the Board may in its discretion exercise any or all of such powers of the Committee at any time.

The Committee shall consist solely of two or more members of the Board who are “non-employee directors” as defined under Rule 16b-3, and meet such independence, or other required listing standards, of any applicable securities exchange that is the principal trading market for the Stock or such other requirements of applicable law as the Board determines in its discretion from time to time are necessary for the Committee to administer of the Plan. In the event the Board determines that a member of the Committee was not an “independent director” under applicable stock exchange listing standards, and/or was not a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3, as applicable, on the date of grant, such determination shall not invalidate the Award and the Award shall remain valid in accordance with its terms.

3.2 Powers of the Committee. In addition to any other powers set forth in the Plan and subject to the provisions and limitations of the Plan, the Committee shall have the full and final power and authority, in its discretion:

(a) To select from the persons eligible under Section 5.1 of the Plan those who will receive Awards under the Plan;

(e) To determine whether an Award will be settled in shares of Stock, cash, or in any combination thereof;

(j) To correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award Agreement and to make all other determinations and take such other actions with respect to the Plan or any Award as the Committee may deem advisable to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan or applicable law.

In controlling and managing the operation and administration of the Plan, the Committee shall take action in a manner that conforms to the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company and any applicable state corporate law. All questions of interpretation of the Plan, of any Award Agreement or of any other form of agreement or other document employed by the Company in the administration of the Plan or of any Award shall be determined by the Committee and such determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons having an interest in the Plan or such Award. Any and all actions, decisions and determinations taken or made by the Committee in the exercise of its discretion pursuant to the Plan, an Award Agreement or other agreement thereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all persons having an interest therein.

3.3 Delegation By Committee. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any Officer selected by it; provided it may not delegate authority to grant Awards to Insiders except to the extent such delegation complies with Rule 16b-3. To the extent the Committee delegates authority to any Officer, or any sub-committee containing one or more Officers, to grant Awards to Employees, who are not Insiders, such Officer shall not participate in any decision regarding any grant of an Award to himself or herself. Any allocation or delegation of authority by the Committee may be revoked by the Committee at any time.

3.4 Information to be Furnished to Committee. The Company and Member Companies shall furnish the Committee with such data and information as it determines may be required for it to discharge its duties. The records of the Company and Member Companies as to a Participant’s employment, termination of employment, leave of absence, reemployment and compensation shall be conclusive on all persons unless determined to be incorrect. Participants and other persons entitled to benefits under the Plan must furnish the Committee such evidence, data or information as the Committee considers desirable to carry out the terms of the Plan.

4.1 Maximum Number of Shares Issuable. Subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 4.2 and 4.4 of the Plan, the aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be delivered under the Plan to Participants and their beneficiaries shall be 6,500,000 shares of Stock. The shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be made shall consist of currently authorized but unissued shares, shares of Stock acquired by the Company, including shares purchased on the open market or in private transactions, or any combination thereof.

4.2 Share Counting. To the extent any shares of Stock that are subject to or underlie an outstanding Award are not delivered to a Participant or beneficiary because, for any reason, all or part of an Award is forfeited, cancelled or expires unexercised, or if shares of Stock delivered to a Participant or beneficiary pursuant to an Award which is subject to forfeiture or cancellation are forfeited or cancelled by the Company, then the shares of Stock allocable to the forfeited, cancelled or unexercised portion of such Award shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the aggregate number of shares of Stock under Section 4.1 of the Plan that may be delivered to Participants and their beneficiaries and shall become immediately available again for new Awards to be granted under the Plan.

Shares of Stock represented by an Award or portion of an Award that are redeemed or withheld as part of a Net Exercise settlement or as part of the payment of the required exercise price or tax withholding obligations, or that are purchased by the Company using proceeds received from Option exercises, shall not be available again for other Awards under the Plan. Shares of Stock shall not be deemed to have been delivered pursuant to the Plan with respect to any portion of an Award that by its terms may be settled solely in cash.

4.3 Limitations. The following limitations are imposed on the applicable Awards granted under the Plan:

(a) The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock available to grant Incentive Stock Options to Employees shall be 750,000 shares. To the extent required under the Code, the maximum number of shares of Stock available to grant Incentive Stock Options shall not be adjusted as required under Section 4.2 of the Plan.

(b) The maximum number of shares available to grant Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to any one individual shall be 750,000 shares during any one fiscal year period. If an Option is granted in tandem with a Stock Appreciation Right, such that the exercise of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right with respect to a share of Stock cancels the tandem Stock Appreciation Right or Option right, respectively, with respect to such share, the tandem Option and Stock Appreciation Right with respect to each share of Stock shall be counted as covering but one share of Stock for purposes of applying the limitations of this paragraph (b).

(c) No more than 750,000 shares of Stock may be subject to Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards granted to any one individual during any one fiscal year period. If, after shares have been earned, the delivery is deferred, any additional shares attributable to dividends during the deferral period shall be disregarded.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Non-Employee Director shall be granted Awards in any fiscal year having a value that, together with any cash retainers or other similar cash-based payments paid during such fiscal year for services on the Board, would exceed $750,000. For the avoidance of doubt, such limit shall include the value of any Awards that are received in lieu of all or a portion of any cash retainers or other similar cash-based payments. The limits set forth in Sections 4.3(b) and 4.3(c) of the Plan shall not apply to Non-Employee Directors.

(e) The foregoing limitations will be adjusted proportionately in connection with any adjustments described in Section 4.4 of the Plan.

4.4 Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. The existence of the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement shall not affect or restrict the right or power of the Company or its shareholders to make or authorize a corporate transaction or event such as a stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination or other similar corporate transaction or event affecting the Stock with respect to which Awards have been or may be issued under the Plan (any such transaction or event, a “Transaction”). To prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, in the event of any change to the Stock effected without receipt of consideration through a Transaction, then the Committee shall, in such manner as the Committee deems equitable: (A) make a proportionate adjustment in (a) the maximum number and type of securities as to which Awards may be granted under this Plan, (b) the number and type of securities subject to outstanding Awards, (c) the grant or exercise price with respect to any such Award, (d) the performance targets and goals appropriate to any outstanding Awards, and (e) the per individual limitations on the number of securities that maybe awarded under the Plan (any such adjustment, an “Antidilution Adjustment”); provided, in each case, that with respect to Incentive Stock Options, no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment would cause such Options to violate Section 422(b) of the Code or any successor provision; with respect to all Options, no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment violates the provisions of Treasury Regulation 1.424-1; with respect to all Awards, no adjustment shall be authorized to the extent such adjustment would violate Section 409A or any successor provisions; and the number of shares of Stock subject to any Award denominated in shares shall always be a whole number; or (B) cause any Award outstanding as of the effective date of the Transaction to be cancelled in consideration of a cash payment or alternate Award (whether from the Company or another entity that is a participant in the Transaction) or a combination thereof made to the holder of such cancelled Award substantially equivalent in value to the fair market value of such cancelled Award. The determination of fair market value shall be made by the Committee or the Board, as the case may be, in their sole discretion. Any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and the exercise price per share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent. In no event may the exercise price of any Award be decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any, of the stock subject to the Award. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. Any adjustments made hereunder shall be binding on all persons having an interest herein.

4.5 Minimum Vesting Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, Awards shall be subject to a minimum vesting period of at least one (1) year (subject to earlier vesting in the event of a Participant’s death, Disability or Retirement as may be provided in an Award Agreement or in a Participant’s employment agreement or retention agreement, or as provided in Section 14 of the Plan in connection with a Change in Control), except that a shorter vesting period or immediate vesting may apply to Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors serving on the Board as a fee or retainer for service, including annual or other grants made pursuant to a director compensation policy or arrangement.

5.1 Persons Eligible for Awards. Employees, Consultants and Directors are eligible to receive Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incentive Stock Options may be granted solely to Employees. In the case of the grant of an Incentive Stock Option, a person who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company or a Parent Corporation or any Subsidiary Corporation shall not be eligible to hold such Incentive Stock Option unless (i) the exercise price of such Incentive Stock Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant, and (ii) such Incentive Stock Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant. For purposes of the previous sentence, in determining stock ownership, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall be applied.

5.2 Participation in Plan. Awards are granted solely at the discretion of the Committee. Eligible persons may be granted more than one Award. However, eligibility in accordance with this Section 5.2 shall not entitle any person to be granted an Award, or, having been granted an Award, to be granted an additional Award.

Options shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish. The provisions of the various Award Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. The Award Agreement shall also specify whether the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. If an Option is not designated as an Incentive Stock Option, then the Option shall be a Nonstatutory Stock Option. No Option shall provide for Dividend Equivalent Rights. Award Agreements evidencing Options may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

6.1 Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1 of the Plan, the exercise price for each Option shall be established in the discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that the exercise price per share for an Option shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option. Repricing of Options after the date of grant shall not be permitted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner that would qualify under the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

6.2 Exercisability and Term of Options. Options shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, Performance Criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however, that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of such Option. Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Committee in an Award Agreement, any Option granted hereunder shall terminate ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of the Option, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act shall be first exercisable for any shares of Stock until at least six months following the date of grant of the Option.

6.3 $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Stock (at the time of grant) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Employee in any one calendar year exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the Options or portion of such Options that exceed such limitation (applied in the order in which the Options are granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Award Agreement(s).

6.4 Payment of Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided below, the full exercise price for the shares of Stock being exercised must be paid in cash or by check or cash equivalents on the date of exercise. The Committee may approve and set forth in an Award Agreement additional forms of payment, which may include any one, or a combination of, the following:

(a) Tender or Attestation of Shares. All or part of the exercise price of an Option may be paid by tendering, either by actual delivery or by attestation, shares of Stock already owned by the Participant. The Committee shall determine in its sole discretion from time to time the acceptable methods of tendering or attesting to shares of Stock to pay all or part of the exercise price of an Option. For purposes of determining the amount of the exercise price satisfied through tender or attestation of shares, the shares shall be valued on the date the shares are tendered or attested to in the method approved by the Committee.

(b) Broker Assisted Cashless Exercise. To the extent the Company has established and maintains a cashless exercise program with a securities brokerage firm, a Participant may exercise an Option through a cashless exercise in accordance with the policies and procedures established from time to time in the sole discretion of the Committee. The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of a cashless exercise, including with respect to one or more Participants specified by the Company notwithstanding that such program or procedures may be available to other Participants.

(c) Net Exercise. By delivering to the Company a properly executed notice, in the form approved by the Committee from time to time in its sole discretion, electing a Net Exercise.

(d) Other Methods. The exercise price may be paid using such other methods of payment as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate from time to time.

6.5 Effect of Termination of Service.

(a) Option Exercisability. Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, an Option shall terminate immediately upon the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent that it is then unvested and shall be exercisable after the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent it is then vested only during the applicable time period determined in accordance with this Section 6.5 and thereafter shall terminate:

(i) Disability. If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the Disability of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option’s term as set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option.

(ii) Death. If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the death of the Participant, then the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the Participant’s death at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option’s term as set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option.

(iii) Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Participant’s Service is terminated for Cause or if, following the Participant’s termination of Service and during any period in which the Option otherwise would remain exercisable, the Participant engages in any act that would constitute Cause, the Option shall terminate in its entirety and cease to be exercisable immediately upon such termination of Service or such act.

(iv) Other Termination of Service. If the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, except Disability, death or Cause, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the expiration of three (3) months after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option’s term as set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option.

(b) Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.5(a) of the Plan is prevented by the provisions of Section 14 of the Plan, the Option shall remain exercisable until thirty (30) days after the date such exercise first would no longer be prevented by such provisions, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option’s term as set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option.

6.6 Transferability of Options. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.6, during the lifetime of the Participant, an Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. An Option shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiaries, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or by beneficiary form filed with the Company pursuant to Section 19.5 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Committee, in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option, an Option that is not an Incentive Stock Option shall be assignable or transferable by gift or domestic relations order to a Participant’s “family members” as permitted in the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act. For the avoidance of doubt, a transfer for value of any Option is prohibited.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the terms and conditions for such Award in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish. The provisions of the various Award Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. The Award Agreement for a Stock Appreciation Right will set forth the exercise price, term of the Stock Appreciation Right, the conditions of exercise, vesting and such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted alone, in addition to other Awards or in tandem with an Option. No Stock Appreciation Award shall provide for Dividend Equivalent Rights. Award Agreements evidencing Stock Appreciation Rights may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

7.1 Exercise Price. The exercise price of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be established by the Committee or shall be determined by a method established by the Committee at the time the Stock Appreciation Right is granted; except that the exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant. Repricing of Stock Appreciation Rights after the date of grant shall not be permitted.

7.2 Term. No Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of its grant or such shorter period specified in the Award Agreement.

7.3 Exercise of Stock Appreciation Right. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercised by providing written or electronic notice to the Company based on such terms and conditions as shall be set forth in the Award Agreement in the sole discretion of the Committee.

7.4 Payment Under Stock Appreciation Right. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying together (a) and (b) below:

(a) The difference between the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise and the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right.

(b) The number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised.

At the discretion of the Committee, settlement upon exercise of all or part of a Stock Appreciation Right may be paid in cash, in shares of Stock, or in any combination of both.

7.5 Tandem with Options. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option may be granted at the same time as the Option and shall cover the same or a different number of shares of Stock as the tandem Option but shall have the same exercise price and be exercisable at the same time and to the same extent as the tandem Option. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option, the related Option shall be cancelled automatically to the extent of the number of the shares of Stock exercised in the tandem Stock Appreciation Right, and if an Option granted in tandem with a Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, the tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall be cancelled automatically to the extent of the number of shares of Stock exercised in the tandem Option.

7.6 Termination of Service. In the event of a Participant’s termination of Service, the Participant may exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right to the extent set forth in the Award Agreement, but in no event after the date the term of such Stock Appreciation Right expires. If, after termination of Service, a Participant does not exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right within the time period specified in the Award Agreement or by the applicable expiration date, the Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate.

7.7 Transferability of Stock Appreciation Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.7, during the lifetime of the Participant, a Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. A Stock Appreciation Right shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiaries, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or by beneficiary form filed with the Company pursuant to Section 19.5 of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stock Appreciation Right that is granted in tandem with an Option that is not an Incentive Stock Option, which Option permits limited assignability or transferability under Section 6.6 of the Plan, shall be assignable or transferable to the same extent as such tandem Option. For the avoidance of doubt, a transfer for value of any Stock Appreciation Right is prohibited.

Restricted Stock Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish. Restricted Stock Awards may be granted upon such conditions as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, upon the attainment of one or more performance goals. Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Awards may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

8.1 Vesting and Restrictions on Transfer. Shares of Stock issued pursuant to any Restricted Stock Award shall be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance goals as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award. During any period in which shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award remain subject to Vesting Conditions, such shares may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of other than as permitted under Sections 4.4 or 14 of the Plan or in the applicable Award Agreement. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in an Award Agreement that upon the occurrence of one or more events or conditions that all or part of the Vesting Conditions shall be satisfied early and that the transfer restrictions shall lapse with respect to all or part of the shares of Stock subject to the Award. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Award that, if the satisfaction of Vesting Conditions with respect to any shares subject to such Restricted Stock Award would otherwise occur on a day on which the sale of such shares would violate the provisions of the Insider Trading Policy, then satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions automatically shall be determined on the next trading day on which the sale of such shares would not violate the Insider Trading Policy. Upon request by the Company, each Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing the transfer restrictions under this Section 8 prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder and shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Stock acquired hereunder for the placement on such certificates or appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer restrictions.

8.2 Voting Rights; Dividends and Distributions. Except as provided in this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 of the Plan, and any Award Agreement, during any period in which shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award remain subject to Vesting Conditions, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company holding shares of Stock, including the right to vote such shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares. However, in the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.4 of the Plan, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than normal cash dividends) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Award shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions and transfer restrictions as the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid or adjustments were made. To the extent that any portion of a Restricted Stock Award is contingent on the achievement of one or more Vesting Conditions, then any cash dividends payable with respect to shares of Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award shall be held by the Company and shall not be paid to the Participant unless such shares of Stock become vested under the terms of the Restricted Stock Award.

8.3 Effect of Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Award, if a Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the Participant’s death or Disability), then the Participant shall forfeit to the Company any shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service.

8.4 Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Award Rights. Rights to acquire shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiaries, except transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution or by a valid beneficiary designation filed with the Company pursuant to Section 19.5 of the Plan. All rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish. The Company may settle payment under a Restricted Stock Unit in cash, shares of Stock or a combination of both. Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Units may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

9.1 Terms of Grant; Performance Goals. Restricted Stock Unit Awards may be granted upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, upon the attainment of one or more performance goals.

9.2 Purchase Price. No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) shall be required as a condition of settling a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the consideration for which shall be services actually rendered to a Member Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable state corporate law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Member Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award.

9.3 Vesting. Restricted Stock Unit Awards may be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance goal as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in an Award Agreement that upon the occurrence of one or more events or conditions that all or part of the Vesting Conditions shall be satisfied early. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Unit Award that if the satisfaction of Vesting Conditions with respect to any shares subject to the Award would otherwise occur on a day on which the sale of such shares would violate the provisions of the Insider Trading Policy, then satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions automatically shall be determined on the next trading day on which the sale of such shares would not violate the Insider Trading Policy.

9.4 Voting Rights, Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions. Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Restricted Stock Units until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Restricted Stock Unit Award that the Participant shall be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock during the period beginning on the date such Award is granted and ending, with respect to each share subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date the Award is settled or the date on which the Award is terminated, cancelled or forfeited. Such Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be paid by crediting the Participant with additional whole Restricted Stock Units as of the date of payment of such cash dividends on Stock. The number of additional Restricted Stock Units (rounded down to the nearest whole number) to be so credited shall be determined by dividing (a) the amount of cash dividends paid on such date with respect to the number of shares of Stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units previously credited to the Participant by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of the Stock on such date. Such additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other

property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.4 of the Plan, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of the Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions as are applicable to the Award. No Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to any portion of a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be paid to the Participant unless and until the Vesting Conditions to which the shares of Stock underlying such portion of the Restricted Stock Unit Award are subject have been satisfied.

9.5 Effect of Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Unit Award, if a Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the Participant’s death or Disability), then the Participant shall forfeit to the Company any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the Award which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of Service.

9.6 Settlement of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Unless otherwise set forth by the Committee in an Award Agreement, on the date on which Vesting Conditions lapse or are otherwise satisfied with respect to Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall issue to a Participant one (1) share of Stock (and/or any other new, substituted or additional securities or other property pursuant to an adjustment described in Section 4.4 of the Plan) or the cash equivalent of the Fair Market Value of such share of Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit then becoming vested or otherwise to be settled on such date, subject to the withholding of applicable taxes, if any.

9.7 Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. The right to receive shares or payment pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiaries, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or by filing a valid beneficiary designation with the Company pursuant to Section 19.5 of the Plan. All rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.

12. Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee shall have authority to specify the terms and provisions of other forms of equity-based or equity-related Awards not described above which the Committee determines to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan and the interests of the Company and which may be granted in tandem with, or independent of, other Awards under the Plan. Such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Committee may determine, including, without limitation, vesting based upon the completion of a specified period of service, the occurrence of an event and/or the attainment of performance objectives. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine to whom and when Other Stock-Based Awards will be made; the number of shares of Stock to be awarded under or otherwise related to such Other Stock-Based Awards; whether such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be settled in cash, shares of Stock or a combination of cash and shares; and all other terms and conditions of such Other Stock-Based Awards. No dividends or Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to any portion of an Other Stock-Based Award shall be paid to the Participant unless and until the Vesting Conditions to which the shares of Stock underlying such portion of the Other Stock-Based Award are subject have been satisfied.

13.1 Award Agreements. Each Award shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the appropriate form of Award Agreement approved by the Committee and as amended from time to time. Any Award Agreement may consist of an appropriate form of notice of grant and a form of agreement incorporated therein by reference, or such other form or forms, including electronic media, as the Committee may approve from time to time.

13.2 Authority to Vary Terms. The Committee shall have the authority from time to time to vary the terms of any standard form of Award Agreement either in connection with the grant or amendment of an individual Award or in connection with the authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the terms and conditions

of any such new, revised or amended standard form or forms of Award Agreement are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the Code, or applicable law.

14.1 Assumption or Substitution. Except as otherwise specified in an Award Agreement or in a Participant’s employment agreement or retention agreement, in the event of a Change in Control as described in Section 2.1(f)(i) and (iv) of the Plan, each outstanding Award may be assumed or an equivalent option or award substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Awards, and unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement or in a Participant’s employment agreement or retention agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, (I) provide for (a) the Participant to fully vest in and have the immediate right to exercise the Option or Stock Appreciation Right as to all of the shares of Stock, including shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, (b) all restrictions and conditions of any Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards held by such Participant to lapse, and (c) any performance-related conditions of Awards held by such Participant to be deemed satisfied pro rata based on actual performance (or target performance if actual performance cannot be determined) and the fractional performance period; or (II) provide for cash-out of the Awards under Section 14.3 of the Plan. If the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Awards, the Committee shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically of the changes in the applicable Awards.

For the purposes of this Section 14.1, an Award shall be considered assumed if, following the transaction or sale of assets, the award confers the right to purchase or receive on the same terms and conditions as the Award, for each share of Stock subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Change in Control by holders of Stock for each share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise or settlement of the Award, for each share of Stock subject to the Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration received by holders of Stock in the Change in Control.

14.2 Accelerated Vesting. In the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may accelerate the vesting, exercisability and settlement of an Award in its sole discretion. In the event of the involuntary termination of an Employee’s Service with a Member Company not for Cause within twenty-four months after a Change in Control of the Company, the following shall occur: (i) all of such Employee’s outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall become immediately vested and exercisable, (ii) all restrictions and conditions of all Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards held by such Employee shall lapse and (iii) any performance-related conditions of Awards held by such Employee shall be deemed satisfied pro rata based on actual performance (or target performance if actual performance cannot be determined) and the fractional performance period; provided, however, that the foregoing provision shall not apply to the extent that the terms and conditions of an Employee’s Award Agreement, employment agreement or retention agreement, as applicable, include provisions relating to accelerated vesting, exercisability and/or settlement of Awards upon a Change in Control, and in such case the Employee’s rights relating to the effect of a Change in Control on the Award shall be determined solely by reference to the provisions of such agreements.

14.3 Cash-Out of Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion and without the consent of any Participant, determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each or any Award or a portion thereof outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control and not previously exercised or settled shall be canceled in exchange for a payment with respect to each vested share (and each unvested share, if so determined by the Committee) of Stock subject to such canceled Award in (i) cash, (ii) stock of a corporation or other business entity that is a party to the Change in Control, or (iii) other property which, in any such case, shall be in an amount having a Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per share of Stock in the Change in Control, reduced by the exercise or purchase price per share, if any, under such Award. If any portion of such consideration may be received by holders of Stock pursuant to the Change in Control on a contingent or delayed basis, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine such Fair Market Value per share as of the time of the Change in Control on the basis of the Committee’s good faith estimate of the present value of the probable future payment of such consideration. In the event such determination is made by the Committee, the amount of such payment (reduced by applicable withholding taxes, if any) shall be paid to Participants in respect of the vested portions of their canceled Awards as

soon as practicable following the date of the Change in Control and in respect of the unvested portions of their canceled Awards in accordance with the vesting schedules applicable to such Awards.

14.4 Federal Excise Tax Under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless otherwise set forth by the express terms of an employment or retention agreement between a Participant and a Member Company, in the event that any acceleration of vesting pursuant to an Award and any other payment or benefit received or to be received by a Participant would subject the Participant to any excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code due to the characterization of such acceleration of vesting, payment or benefit as an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, then the amount of any acceleration of vesting called for under the Award shall be reduced in order to avoid such characterization and payment of any excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code.

15.1 Tax Withholding in General. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any and all payments made under the Plan, or to require the Participant, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, to make adequate provision for, the federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld by the Member Companies with respect to an Award or the shares acquired pursuant thereto. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock, to release shares of Stock from an escrow established pursuant to an Award Agreement, or to make any payment in cash under the Plan until the Member Companies’ tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the Participant.

15.2 Withholding in Shares. The Company shall deduct from the shares of Stock issuable to a Participant upon the exercise or settlement of an Award a number of whole shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal to the tax withholding obligations of the Member Companies. Upon the exercise, settlement, or vesting of an Award, all tax withholding shall be satisfied by deduction of shares of Stock otherwise issuable to a Participant upon the exercise or settlement of the Award or, as applicable, by cancellation of a portion of the shares of Stock that become vested under the Award. The Fair Market Value of any shares of Stock withheld or cancelled under this Section 15.2 shall not exceed the amount determined by the minimum statutory withholding rates for each applicable tax jurisdiction.

The grant of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to any Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state and foreign law with respect to such securities and the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, no Award may be exercised or shares issued pursuant to an Award unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of such exercise or issuance be in effect with respect to the shares issuable pursuant to the Award or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable pursuant to the Award may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to issuance of any Stock, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

All Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan are intended to be exempt from Section 409A as stock rights granted with an exercise price not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right and the Plan and any Award Agreement or other document evidencing a grant of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be interpreted as necessary to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, any Award or portion of an Award that is or becomes subject to Section 409A shall comply with the following:

17.1 Awards Subject to Section 409A. Awards subject to Section 409A may include, but are not limited to:

(a) Any Nonstatutory Stock Option that permits the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the exercise or transfer of the Option or the time the shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the option first become substantially vested.

(b) Any Restricted Stock Unit or Other Stock-Based Award that provides by its terms that payment will be made or the Award settled upon or after the occurrence of any event that will or may occur later than the end of the Short-Term Deferral Period.

Subject to U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 409A (“Section 409A Regulations”) or other applicable guidance, the term “Short-Term Deferral Period” means the period ending on the later of (i) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which the applicable portion of the Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or (ii) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Participant’s taxable year in which the applicable portion of the Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. For this purpose, the term “substantial risk of forfeiture” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 409A Regulations or other applicable guidance.

17.2 Fixed Payment Dates. Except as otherwise permitted or required by Section 409A Regulations or other applicable guidance, no payment or other distribution in settlement of an Award or portion of an Award subject to Section 409A may commence earlier than:

(a) The Participant’s “separation from service” (as defined by Section 409A Regulations, including the definition of “service recipient” under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h)(3));

(b) The date the Participant becomes “disabled” (as defined by Section 409A Regulations);

(c) The Participant’s death;

(d) A specified time (or pursuant to a fixed schedule) that is specified by the Committee upon the grant of an Award and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award;

(e) A change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company (as defined by Section 409A Regulations); or

(f) The occurrence of an “unforeseeable emergency” (as defined by Section 409A Regulations).

17.3 Specified Employees. To the extent that a Participant is a “Specified Employee” (as defined by Section 409A Regulations) of the Company, distribution pursuant to Section 17.2(a) in settlement of an Award subject to Section 409A shall be made on the first day of the seventh month after the Participant’s separation from service (the “Delayed Payment Date”) or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death. All such amounts that would, but for this paragraph, become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date shall be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date. The amount of any payment under an Award that is based on the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock shall be determined at the time the Award vests pursuant to the applicable Award Agreement and not at the time of the Delayed Payment Date. No interest shall be paid by the Company on any amount accumulated during the period ending on the Delayed Payment Date.

17.4 No Acceleration of Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Plan does not permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of any distribution under this Plan pursuant to any Award or portion of an Award subject to Section 409A, except as provided by Section 409A and Section 409A Regulations.

17.5 Interpretation. To the extent any Award granted under the Plan is subject to, or becomes subject to, Section 409A, the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement shall be interpreted as necessary to comply with Section 409A and this Section 17.

The Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that any payment or distribution upon settlement of an Award subject to Section 409A upon termination of the Plan shall comply with Section 409A Regulations and all applicable guidance issued hereunder; provided, further, no amendment of the Plan by the Committee shall become effective without approval by the Company’s shareholders if such approval is required for compliance with Rule 16b-3 or such other applicable federal or state laws, regulations or rules, or the rules of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may adversely affect any then outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the consent of any Participant, amend the Plan or any Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or such Award Agreement to any present or future law, regulation or rule applicable to the Plan, including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code and all applicable guidance promulgated thereunder.

19.1 Forfeiture Events; Recoupment.

(a)    The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited to, termination of Service for Cause or any act by a Participant, whether before or after termination of Service, that would constitute Cause for termination of Service.

(b)    If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, then any Participant who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and who knowingly or through gross negligence engaged in the misconduct, or who knowingly or through gross negligence failed to prevent the misconduct, shall reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of an Award earned or accrued during the twelve (12) month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever first occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement.

(c)    All Awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Participant upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of any shares of Stock underlying the Award) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of applicable law, including without limitation the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the applicable Award Agreement.

19.2 Provision of Information. Each Participant shall be given access to information concerning the Company equivalent to that information generally made available to the Company’s shareholders.

19.3 Rights as Employee, Consultant or Director. No person, even though eligible pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan, shall have a right to be selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall confer on any Participant a right to remain an Employee, Consultant or Director or interfere with or limit in any way any right of a Member Company to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time. To the extent that an Employee of a Member Company other than the Company receives an Award under the Plan, that Award shall in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that the Company is the Employee’s employer or that the Employee has an employment relationship with the Company.

19.4 Rights as a Shareholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by an Award until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are issued, except as provided in Section 4.4 or another provision of the Plan.

19.5 Beneficiary Designations. A Participant’s beneficiary shall be the person, persons, or entity designated by the Participant on a properly completed beneficiary designation form submitted to the Company. Such designation may be changed by the Participant without the consent of any previously designated beneficiary. A beneficiary designation will not become effective unless it is made on a form approved by the Company and is received by the Company prior to the Participant’s death.

19.6 Delivery of Title to Shares. Subject to any governing rules or regulations, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Award and shall deliver such shares to or for the benefit of the Participant by means of one or more of the following: (a) by delivering to the Participant evidence of book entry shares of Stock credited to the account of the Participant, (b) by depositing such shares of Stock for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship, or (c) by delivering such shares of Stock to the Participant in certificate form.

19.7 Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise or settlement of any Award. In lieu of issuing such fraction of a share of Stock, the Company will be entitled to pay a Participant the Fair Market Value of such fractional share on the business day immediately following the date the Award is exercised or vests.

19.8 Retirement and Welfare Plans. Neither Awards made under this Plan nor shares of Stock or cash paid pursuant to such Awards shall be included as “compensation” for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any Participant under any Member Company’s retirement plans (both qualified and non-qualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation shall be taken into account in computing such benefits.

19.9 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

19.10 No Constraint on Corporate Action. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to: (a) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s or another Member Company’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets; or (b) limit the right or power of the Company or another Member Company to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate.

19.11 Unfunded Obligation. Participants shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Participants pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes. No Member Company shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Participant account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Committee or any Member Company and a Participant, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant or the Participant’s creditors in any assets of any Member Company. The Participants shall have no claim against any Member Company for any changes in the value of any assets which may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.

19.12 Choice of Law. Except to the extent governed by applicable federal law, the validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict of law rules.

19.13 No Repricing. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, without prior approval of the Company’s shareholders, no amendment or modification may be made to an outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Award, including, without limitation, by reducing the exercise price or assuming and replacing or substituting any Option or Stock Appreciation Right with cash or another Award, when such amendment or modification would be treated as repricing under the rules of the stock exchange on which the Company’s Stock is listed; provided, however, that appropriate adjustments to Options and Stock Appreciation Awards may be made as permitted under Section 4.4 of the Plan.

20. Shareholder Approval. The Plan is subject to approval of the Company’s shareholders within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date.
